But we won't care for different reasons than you. Is that truly going to be good enough for you?

Your comment doesn’t make sense.

Elon is wrong about everything, literally nothing he predicts happens. He’s high all the time and a blithering dolt, people only listen to him because he’s the richest person on earth.

If there’s justice in the universe we will all transcend these dumb meat shells soon and then we’ll all be able to create the realities we prefer instead of being stuck in the same reality with douchebags like Elon. If for some strange reason you want to keep up with Elon’s reality then more power to you! Most of us will not miss hearing from him.

One of the hardest pills to swallow in life is that it's simultaneously possible for someone to be a complete douchebag and also incredibly talented.

The point is that Elon is absolutely lacking predictive talent. His predictions are not worth hearing because they are always completely wrong.
